[Verse 1]
And I have spent so long, sitting and waiting for you here
And I wrote this song, waiting to hold you near, so near
And I am so damn tired of just holding my breath
You are not required for me to feel the embrace of d**h, of d**h
[Chorus]
Now that these ropes have frayed
Won't you please just stay away?
Now that these ropes have frayed
Won't you please just stay away?
These shackled scars have healed
There's nothing left to steal
[Verse 2]
And so I'll drink a beer and I'll try to drown my brain
And I'll pa** out here, hope when I wake you don't remain, remain
And my heart is warm, although you stole most of my fire
Deep inside this form is a faint spark of desire, desire
[Chorus]
Now that these ropes have frayed
Won't you please just stay away?
Now that these ropes have frayed
Won't you please just stay away?
These shackled scars have healed
There's nothing left to steal
